Decision Planning Permission on 12th June 2008
Conditions / Refusal Reasons The development to which this permission relates must be begun not later than the expiration of three years beginning with the date of this permission. Reason: By virtue of Sections 91 to 95 of the Town and Country Planning Act 1990 as amended by section 51 of the Planning and Compulsory Purchase Act 2004.

The exterior of the development hereby permitted shall only be constructed in the materials specified on the plans hereby approved or in materials which shall previously have been approved in writing by the Local Planning Authority. Reason: In the interests of the appearance of the development and in accordance with Policy D1 of the South Oxfordshire Local Plan 2011.

That the additional living accommodation hereby permitted shall be occupied and used only in connection with and ancillary to the occupation and use of the existing property as a hotel for use as staff accommodation and storage, as specified in the application, and shall not be occupied or used separately therefrom. Reason: Because this is a location where new residential development will not normally be allowed but there are special circumstances in this case in accordance with Policy H6 of the adopted South Oxfordshire Local Plan.

Prior to the commencement of any site works (including demolition or site clearance) a protected area shall be designated for the lime tree which is shown to be retained, and the tree shall be protected in accordance with a scheme which complies with BS 5837:2005 Trees in Relation to Construction and shall have been submitted to, and approved in writing by, the local planning authority. The agreed measures shall be kept in place during the entire course of development. Reason: To safeguard trees which are visually important in accordance with Policies C9 and D1 of the South Oxfordshire Local Plan 2011.

No development shall take place until the Local Planning Authority are satisfied that the following measures (a-c) have been undertaken to investigate and remediate any contamination and have approved all necessary stages in writing. The site shall then not be occupied until any agreed action is implemented and approved by the Local Planning Authority. a) Completion of a desk study by a suitably qualified person. The Desk Study shall be completed in accordance with BS 10175 2001 and include a site walkover, identification of all potentially contaminative site uses and in initial conceptual model. b) If potential contamination is identified in a) then an intrusive site investigation must be completed. This investigation must be undertaken in accordance with BS 10175 and having regard to the approved desk study. A report shall be produced detailing the works undertaken to characterise the site and contain a refined conceptual model in the light of the results of the investigation. All chemical analysis shall be undertaken by MCERTS accredited laboratories. N.B. If the Local Planning Authority is not satisfied that the site has been adequately characterised after the first stage of investigation, further works will be required to clarify any remaining uncertainties. It is therefore recommended that the Local Planning Authority are consulted on the site investigation proposal before completion of the works. c) Where unacceptable levels of contamination are identified, a remediation scheme shall be produced. The scheme shall incorporate details of the procedures and documentation employed to validate the remediation. The approved remediation scheme shall then be implemented in full and the report detailing the works approved by the Local Planning Authority in writing before occupation of the site. Reason: To ensure that any ground and water contamination is identified and adequately addressed to ensure the safety of the development, the environment and the public and ensure that the site is suitable for the proposed use in accordance with Policy EP8 of the South Oxfordshire Local Plan 2011.

If contamination is found to be present on the site then no further development shall be carried out until the following measures have been undertaken and approved in writing by the Local Planning Authority. An investigation into the nature and extent of the contamination in line with BS 10175: 2001 (Investigation of potentially contaminated sites - code of practice). This report should detail the works undertaken to investigate the nature and extent of the contamination and the measures proposed to remediate the site and validate the works. Following written approval by the Local Planning Authority of the remediation and validation proposals they shall be completed in full and a validation report submitted to and approved in writing by the Local Planning Authority before the development is occupied. Reason: To ensure that any ground and water contamination is identified and adequately addressed to ensure the safety of the development, the environment and the public and ensure that the site is suitable for the proposed use in accordance with Policy EP8 of the South Oxfordshire Local Plan 2011.
